Description

the javadoc for ParameterAware states that the values of the map are all java.lang.String[], in other words it is a Map<String,String[]>. Indeed, when hitting an action via a 'genuine' http request, this is true. However, when hitting the action via the action tag, the values in the map are String, not String[]. The bug appears to be possibly line 177 in ActionComponent:

176: if (parameters != null)

{ 177: newParams.putAll(parameters); 178: }

The parameters of the component are Map<String,String> and therefore cannot be combined directly into the ActionContext.getParameters map.
